EARLY
CHILDHOOD CLASSROOM: The
Gail E. Johnston Early Childhood Classroom
and Resource Library was dedicated in a ceremony
at the Porter Building Sept. 29. The classroom,
located in Room 223, contains centralized
controls for audiovisual and computer
equipment. A corner of the room is designed
to reflect a typical early childhood
classroom, with a children's table and
chairs, a bookshelf with children's books,
and bulletin boards with children's work. (above,
